Offering free middle seat but interesed party wants me to post to Malaysia!

Ok, I've placed an advert in the For Sale section, offering a FREE front middle seat from my 110. Another member (who joined this month and has zero posts) replied via PM saying that he'd like the seat but can I post it to Malaysia!

I did state that if a courier was involved then the recipient would have to cover the cost of postage.

Thing is, even if he does cover the posage cost via PayPal or whatever, I have the feeling there could be a con going on here e.g. they could charge back and I'd have paid X amount for the postage.

Anyone know of the pitfalls here?

I think you should tell him 2 4 cough.

slow and loudly

Postage is over £150! It seems ridiculous. I mean, is there a real shortage of seats over there or something? Might start a business

do a zammo:

just say no !

you are under no obligation to send it, just say it was uk only.

More fool you if you take it any further.

Fook me if I ain't just written myself the same post! Close anyways

Really? So, this seems like a con to me. Cancelling now.

Thanks all. Needed a slap of wisdom on this one.

What! The post where you think someone asking you to post an item you advertised for sale on ebay, up to Scotland is suspicious? Hardly the same.

Your Avatar is funny but a bit sick at the same time.
